Dude, I wrote the zombie line regarding the CSTO! Quoted by Warographics? Career achievement unlocked!
Congrats 💯
Congratulations
Yo congrats!
Yassss queen.
Beautiful line btw; excellent mental picture!
Netanyahu's downfall will not be from any geopolitical event, but due to internal politics.
There were some interesting developments this past week.
bibi is invisible...
Yeah. He will lose the next election whenever it comes. It's just a question of who among those that have the power to bring them about is willing to make it happen.
Least they try and convict in Israel of crimes, in other places they celebrate people who commit acts of violence or break the law. Israel is and always will be a democracy leading the way for others to follow when they are ready. Let's all note how Egypt and any other country that doesn't sponsor and embolden terror, never gets on Israel's radar, EVER.

@@WaltzingUndead sounds like an alt-right automaton
@@NightRogue77 they will collapse by 2050 due to demographics.
In the US almost everyone supports nuclear power but almost nobody wants a nuclear power plant near them so it is almost impossible to build new ones.
In China, they are a dictatorship so nobody gets a say in whether or not there is a nuclear power plant near them so they have no problem building new ones.
I lived near a nuclear power plant for 20 years (Surry power plant in VA) and since moved into the western part of the state when I met my now wife. I didn't even notice it except for the monthly siren tests. I'd have no problem living near one today. I wish people could see they're not dangerous, and to educate themselves on nuclear energy
It has nothing to do with the location. It's the other far more lucrative energy guys that have all the lobby power and can offer investors fast and massive returns on their investment. Nuclear plants are a long runway investment. They also are insanely long and predictable in their returns. Not that those investments are seen as having any value in the US anymore. I would rather live up against the fence of a nuclear power plant than even several miles away from any of our wonderful fossil fuel power plants. As long as lobbyists don't bribe anyone to change the safety rules of course. You can count on 2 hands the number of deaths caused by the US nuclear power industry since the very start. And that includes the few tragic ones of scientists before we knew exactly how some things worked. Air pollution from the current kingpins? You'll need a few thousand more hands. Per year. It is all a matter of money and who has it and can bribe those in the right places to ensure their ludicrously unfair advantage is maintained.
@@LackofFaithifyProblem overall is quite extreme safety regualtions, insurance etc. we have here west. But worst part is that because this + public pressure has been the case for a long time industry has athropied.
@@conorcorrigan765 You act like America doesn't have eminent domain, where they can quite literally steal your land and give you what they feel is fair value for it.
They don't care if you want a reactor next door, that has nothing to do with it.
It also always ends up costing tens of billions of dollars OVER budget and then produces energy so cheap that it never makes a profit. So they have to be built by a central government
“The good shit” ☠️ never have I been caught so off guard
Nearly coughed up my omelette
I had to rewind just to make sure I heard my boy Simon correctly
I hope China does not make their reactors at the same standard as the rest of their mega project.
😅
Agree, Solar PV + batteries are cheaper and safer than SMRs. Agrivoltaics is a bonus. Most developing countries populations can use solar power.
@@glike2 You need a lot more infrastructure for those things. A solar PV requires both colossal amounts of flat land and also energy storage while also being less than productive during storms and useless at night.
An SMR can be plonked down into the footprint of an existing coal or gas plant and provide equivalent amounts of energy 24-7.

Yhea unfortunately it's whatever will sell the most not the most important news that's reported. That's why Sudan and the south America stuff is rarely reported whilst less important stuff like anything to do with Russia, China, etc being top of the agenda as they can cause the most fear in the population so help sell the news channel better. Sadly thousands dying isn't seen as being as important as a country that could be an actual threat getting another new weapon.

Oh god, I do not want to see China applying tofu-dreg construction to nuclear reactors
My biggest fear is that when a nuclear reactor accident happens it never matters why just that it did and will further tarnish nuclear reputation.
Modern nuclear reactors are safer and less polluting than coal and even many "green" solutions. The outrage about nuclear is completely misguided nonsense. China can build quality and a nuclear reactor kind of demands that. They don't want to destroy their own country with a accident.
@@dobber43Chernobyl 2: Nuclear Boogaloo.
China has the third most nuclear reactors in the world and has never had a single major radiological incident. Look up the list of INES nuclear accidents and you’ll see a long list of radiation leaks from the USA, Soviet Union, UK; Japan, etc. Almost all the reactors in China are modern gen 3 or newer reactor designs that are more modern that many outdated cold war designs still operating in the United States.
@@mercenarygundam1487it does seem like China is speed running the USSR's history. They've gone from rising star of the second half of a newly bipolar world like 1950s USSR/Russia and they're already at 1980s USSR/Russia that's a rusty pile of empty promises and blatant lies
Don’t know what failed more, the Warsaw Pact or the CSTO.
Warsaw pact had a least one successful military intervention and managed to be NATO peer for decades...so I would guess CSTO
The Warsaw Pact very much worked and was NATO's counterpart for decades. By any metric, it was highly successful. CSTO was always a joke and still is.
@@ed-te1fp reminds me of those leaders in the past who got hijacked by an inner clique like their security force and basically held hostage, like some Roman emperors or the Japanese emperors at times. The CSTO are like the collateral friendships from Brooklyn Nine Nine

love watching these and the rate yall pump these out is ridiculous. Thanks for all the info!
Wouldn't China investing into nuclear energy be a preferable alternative to their use of coal? Being that they are one of the major polluters?
Yea, think the point is that everyone else is too apathetic to nuclear energy and nuclear energy is used to make nuclear weapons.
Well I don't know if you've heard of something called tofu Construction but go to the Chinese fact checkers, RUclips channel and watch their videos on buildings literally made of cardboard and sandstone. It's actually extremely scary, so it would be a major issue. If China started to switch to nuclear energy because they're track record of having high and good standard safety practices is basically non-existent. And most likely all of these nuclear power plants will have to be on the coastline of the country meaning if a meltdown happens picture fukushima x1000
I think there's also their country's record with construction safety and strength.
I agree, China is the only nation to actually build and service nuclear power stations in the last decade at scale. Everyone else is just complaining at this stage and we haven't had a disastrous incident yet which is a good sign as China has been building many many nuclear stations.

Great work but I'm always disappointed when nothing is mentioned with regards to the South China SEA esp with what happened last week. There is a higher chance that the USA actually gets boots (and boats) on the ground (and waters) there as the Philippines is an actual treaty ally of the USA. It's been criminally under reported not just by you but by almost every other media especially considering the ramifications are a lot more important that whatever is happening in Western Asia or Europe. I don't want to diminish conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, but if these gets coverage then the Philippines should be front and center as the formal treaty between the USA and the Philippines, a country of 110M, elevates it just a little bit.
I hope they don't get confused and wind up with boats on the ground and boots in the water.

Brilliant episode. Very edifying. Thank you.
Never in history has a power been at war and expected to feed and protect the enemies civilians.
Yup. I’m surprised we haven’t heard complaints yet that Israel isn’t providing free education and healthcare for Gazans.
If you dont want israel to be responsible to feed and educate Gazans then maybe let Palestinians have self determination on their food imports? Israel has continuously blockaded the gaza strip since 2006 "to block weapons from getting in" but also blocked large amounts of food and water desalination parts. If israel is "not responsible" then who is, since gazas government doesnt have control over it?
@@malcolm_mal2055 Gazans elected to power a government dedicated to the annihilation of Israel. Blockading that government is completely reasonable and does not impart on Israel an obligation to care for Gazans. Gaza chose terrorism as its path forward, they have no one to blame but themselves.
@@adamredwine774 you left out the part where that's illegal under international law. Not doing business with and blockading the entire region are two different things and it somehow flies straight above your head that making the people of gaza suffer just further increases the will of the people to want to see tel aviv in flames. You"re also very conveniently leaving out that more than half of the 2.2 million Gazans weren't even alive when they voted for the last time and that even then only 40 percent voted for hamas in 2005. More people voted for likud in 2021 than were even eligible to vote in gaza. So israel is doing collective punishment. But I guess I cant expect humanity from someone that doesnt have any
@@malcolm_mal2055 you’re talking nonsense and I suspect even you know that. 1) No, a blockade is not illegal. 2) Egypt has also blockaded Gaza for the same period and you seem to have no complaints about that. 3) Palestinians are not unthinking animals with uncontrollable tendencies toward violence. 4) Every human on the plant lives with the consequences of the leadership of their society.

One of the big problems with the nuclear industry in the US is that in certain states they are allowed to pre-bill consumers to cover the cosy of the projectand even if the project gets cancelled the new rates stay. As well, in the case of inevitable cost overruns, the levy goes up again. This also applies to standard non nuclear projects as well

Probably for deterrence!
The US needs to build WAY more nuclear reactors if they are serious about reducing carbon emissions, but they are too focused on your car. All cars conrtibute less that 5% to global emissions. Crazy. Not sure why anyone would be afraid of China building so many reactors, this is great news for the Climate Change movement.
Maybe it's the history of tofu dregs.
It's the US not exactly a intelligent government
It's almost like our leaders....ARE ABUSING US!! And like fools, y'all just keep driving.
The biggest environmental groups are too habitually opposed to nuclear power for it to get the focus it deserves.
Why would anyone be afraid of China building so many reactors? Have you not heard the phrase "tofu dreg" or of the CCP's penchant for covering up embarrassments even at the expense of global health? Where have you been the last few years?

Great updates, it's difficult to choose a favourite story this week! Action packed.
problem with nucs., is that they charge a lot more for electric power after their made.
I suppose if you mismanage it it will always be too expensive. Well managed power plants that use nuclear power outperform all other forms of generation at a cost per kilowatt hour. This will continue until there is a technological shift. Most likely when a true fusion reactor is developed for power generation.
@@bigjake2061 Large-scale nuclear is estimated to cost between $141 and $233/MWh in 2030, with small modular reactors estimated to be $230 to $382/MWh. Electricity from a combination of solar and wind would cost between $73 and $128 a megawatt hour. Amounts in Australian dollars as we’re having this debate now.
@@jrx3361Solar and wind are harder to scale and less reliable. Even with a mainly renewable grid, you still need backup.

Nice Catch22 ‘Israel military presence has only brought in 7 hostages, but diplomacy has brought in 103’
So the military presence didn’t pressure the terrorist to the negotiating table?
Btws don’t like how Israel retakes their civilian, don’t take their country hostage.
It’s truly rich hearing a Brit talk about diplomacy when y’all caused 50,000 casualties during the troubles, 1970-2000.
Yup. I don't understand how people can seriously say that "diplomacy is the only way to get them back" without seeing that the only reason Hamas was open to any diplomacy was because of military threat.
Yay Tofu-Dregs Nuclear Power Plants! Not!
"I am opposed to the way you run this war, but I am going to resign from my position that allows me to try and moderate what goes on, and let those with the opposite views have greater influence"
Pretty much how I view situations where someone resigns from an important council or governing body or position in a government out of 'protest', removing one possible break on whoever is being protested against. Same thing in the US, where republicans who dislike trump are deciding not to run for their position again, conceding that position to the poeple that the dont like or want in power. HOW DOES THAT HELP. It is the opposite of helping!

Israel is perfectly capable of defending itself. So I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Israel started this conflict in 1948 by invading, attacking, and illegally occupying Palestinian territory.
Israel is the aggressor. Israel is the invader. Israel is the occupier. Israel is the oppressor, these are historical facts, and Israel will never see peace so long as they occupy Palestinian territory. You have to be delusional to think that Israel is the good guy here.
@@elricofmelnibone425why do you say Hamas was not governing the Gaza strip? They were elected to at least almost 20 years ago.

Did they choose to spend the money on economic development?. If you say someone else prevented them be specific. Don't just make some sort of general statement like the bad guys did it.

I respect the pace of US Nuclear reactors, is the quality of these newer faster built reactors questionable. There's a history of quality issues, and someone could be sitting on the next Chernobyl.

"Once upon a time, there was a little man with a funny black mustache, and a sideswiped haircut" 😉
Anytime I talk to someone who is against Nuclear in the US, I always get the same shit. “Three Mile Island”. Which is annoying because TMI was a PR disaster not a Nuclear one. But because of the PR and how the information was dealt with people believe it to have been a major disaster. TMI had the biggest effect on the reduction of support for Nuclear power in the US. I cant even bring it up with my grandparents because they refuse to believe that it was anything other than a nuclear disaster.
Then when you compare the amount of incidents to total reactors world wide you see how safe it can be. TMI wasnt a “disaster”, Fukushima was due to earthquakes and tsunami and not the plant itself, and Chernobyl was operator error coupled with design flaws.
Modern reactors are/can be built with a lot more automation in regard to safety and requirer more and higher degree regular safety checks. Its a shame that 2 major incidents and 1 PR issue out of the hundreds that have operated (there are around 440 current active worldwide not accounting for ones previous built since 1957 and since decommissioned) resulted in a reduction of faith from the public.
Yet we still trust planes, trains, and cars.
Yet we still trust wind which has killed 150 globally (more than Chernobyl)
Yet we still trust hydro which has an estimated annual death count of 150k from direct and indirect result of the stations effects.
It makes me so angry that we (the west) let China get so ahead of us on Nuclear. Should have been investing in it decades ago instead of being scared because of Chernobyl
China is not ahead of us with regard to nuclear power generation.
We do not use nuclear power because we don't know how to. We don't use nuclear power because the brainwash masses don't understand how safe it actually is. Their understanding of nuclear power ends with the propaganda against it.
Scary yes but 3 Mile Island accident/partial meltdown in the USA itself probably is more to blame. Between the 2 incidents it scared the shit out of the general public. In turn stalling the progression of nuclear power development and implementation as power stations.

Then the few that do, have no regard or idea for what it's like to live in a small country, shared and surrounded by those who hate you and don't believe you should exist. Imagine having to deal with that for over 76 years, and be told that you have to be okay with it because youre not allowed to deal with them.

Are China's Nuclear Plants made out of Cheap Plasic and glued together with Wet Cardboard though?
That's what worries me.
stop pretending you are worried about what ever happens in China. and I hope you wouldn't get upset if I tell you China have a very good safety record with nuclear power plants.
@@eternalobiI'm sure Chinese state media would also claim Tofu dregs are a myth
@eternalobi English is not your first language, so why are you pretending that you're not Chinese?
thats a nice lamp
Do a megaprojects/ warographics about AI/ robots in war
Why the random blasting noises?
SOOOOOO we gonna have a Chernobyl in China......
Chernobyl cannot happen with modern nuclear reactors. And in reality, China are building far greater capacity in solar.
@@ChineseKiwi Chernobyl happened because of human failure. The design of the reactor was crude but human failure inspired by bureaucratic stupidity caused the accident. Trust Chinese leadership?
@@jeremiahmitchell6420 The human failure at the root of the Chernobyl disaster was not the one committed on the day of the test, it was the one that oversaw approval of the design. The Soviets knew that the reactor had a positive void coefficient of reactivity. They knew that was stupid and dangerous. After the disaster, every reactor in the USSR was altered to change that. No reactor in the US ever had that because we knew better. I believe that China knows better too.
You know as a Salvadoran I’ve never seen my country be mentioned so much ever, not when the gangs weren’t following ”human rights” and slaughtered people every night, there’s want media attention on that. There was no funding or help. Yet now that it’s behind El Salvador , El Salvador is wrong for imprisoning gang members 🤔 shocking really where people stand in this world
I think the majority of the world are being El Salvador and South Americas war on gangs completely, I am anyway. Life in prison is a more merciful fate, than those gangs gave a lot of people.
As a South African I agree that this offer from China might feel too good to refuse but its also slightly terrifying in a country already struggling economically and with debt to potentially increase that debt even more.
I tried to watch, but that accent made me grab my musket and kick my box of tea into the sink.
Don’t let the accent fool you, he lives in Prague.

Touch grass
Taking china at it word shows me Simon or his writer has no idea what hes talking about at all
Yeah, colour me skeptical that their reactors produce 100x more energy per unit of material consumed.
Well in the 60s and 70s, Babcock and Wilcox had a nuclear power plant that fit on 3 railcars
Could power 20,000 homes if I remember correctly.
Security from bad actors is a different question
Reactors for nuclear submarines are not that big. I mean, they do have to fit inside of a submarine after all.
@@adamredwine774 was functional on the railcars as in could be set up under field conditions
@@drudgenemo7030 yeah. The army commissioned some back in the ‘50s with eyes on Antarctica I believe.
Tofu Dreg + Nuke Reactors 😂
I am a former and retired US Army special operator. Your clear "bend" on your presentation of the killing of 270 civilian? people is nauseating, followed up by "only 4 hostages were rescued" . It's like this tough guy, THERE ARE NO INNOCENTS IN GAZA. Children, maybe. You're an example of "journalism" searching for content. Used to love your show. Now I watch until I can't and that's with a squinted eye. I don't trust your information. You bend your presentation with your body language, facial expression and snide remarks, in other words, you're an amateur at best.
I hadn't heard the civilian numbers of that op until this video, the use of hellfire missiles in daytime market crowds... seems like he covered it
